slayra reviewed Packing for Mars by Mary Roach
Review of 'Packing for Mars' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
If I could, I'd be Mary Roach when I grow up. She not only writes well as she has the ability of making me interested in subjects I didn't find interesting to begin with. Having said that, I believe the space topic appeals to everyone and Roach was able to find all the bits I had never considered before. How can you hold a religious activity in space? What happens when you cannot change your underwear for two weeks? How mentally hard is it to live in a confined space with strangers 24/7? I learnt a lot and I am sure I'll re-read this book in the future. Roach also has an incredible capacity to make me laugh, so I am sorry about all the quotes from this book I have been pestering my friends with these past days.
